Intro

fuzz guitar (doubled w/bass and marimba):

Verse 1

So many words

Are buzzing 'round my head

So many words

Are still waiting to be said

I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry

I keep a-tryin' but my mouth gets numb

I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry

It's on the tip of my tongue

Chorus

It's on the tip of my tongue [1, 2, 3: baby]

It's on the tip of my [1, 4: tongue] [2, 3: T- t- t- ah!]

It's on the tip of my tongue

But the words they don't come

Verse 2

Each time you see me

You must be thinking, "here comes a bad scene"

But if you could just be me

Then you'd know what I mean

When I keep trying to tell you I'm sorry

When I keep hoping it's not over and done [45: yeah LP: no!]

When I keep trying to tell you I'm sorry

It's on the tip of my tongue

Bridge

What is it you want me to do

Do I have to come out and spell it for you

It must hurt you too, going on this way

Wanting to hear words that I just can't say

[repeat chorus 2X; fade at end 2nd time]
